Scott Soshnick and Michael Barr discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including the five-set thriller that decided the Wimbledon men's championship. Novak Djokovic defeated Roger Federer in the epic affair, which was decided in a fifth-set tiebreak. The win boosted Djokovic's career on-court earnings to about $133 million, while Federer reached about $110 million. Moreover, the match was the most in DraftKings history with 55% of wagers coming from in-game, or live, play. Also discussed is the late Aubrey McClendon's 22% ownership stake in the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder that's been put up for sale. The sale comes as the team is shedding some of hits highest-paid and best-known players, including Russell Westbrook. And also talked about is Procter & Gamble's decision to donate $529,000 -- $23,000 for each of the 23 players on the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team that won the World Cup earlier this month -- to help close the pay gap with the men's team.
